Aims: Novel anticancer strategies have employed bacteriophages as drug carriers and display platforms for anticancer agents; however, bacteriophage-based platforms maintain their natural antibacterial ...

were diluted in 0.85% NaCl and exposed to y irradiation (2.79 Gy/min) at room temperature (24*C). T4+ was more sensitive to inactivation than was P22, and the T4os mutant was even more sensitive than ...

Venigalla B. Rao, PhD, has been studying bacteriophages for more than four decades, mostly in small laboratories with limited personnel and funding. But having a mere eight-person lab (four post-docs, ...

A team of scientists from the United States has recently developed a bioengineered bacteriophage T4 nanoparticle structure using CRISPR technology that can be used as a universal platform to produce ...

Phage interactions with bacteria are well known, and interactions between bacteria and their mammalian host can lead to a range of symbioses. However, the impact of bacteriophages on mammalian ...

Bacteriophages, also called phages, are viruses that infect and kill bacteria, their natural hosts. But from a macromolecular viewpoint, phages can be viewed as nutritionally enriched packets of ...
